The MA, as in Chess, control the center of the board; moving pieces outwardly as well as stealthy as possible with blind movements and hidden attacks. That center of the board control is vital, especially, and up to the end game, for achieving a Checkmate against your opponent.

Control...control...control!!

There is an episode of "Lexx" called "The Game" that can be viewed on YouTube; well worth the time to watch, if you like chess!

Where the characters of the TV show become chess pieces.

It is a surreal perspective of chess, as all the pieces have their personal perspectives and biases throughout the game (Personified chess pieces)

Perhaps as martial artists, we can feel as if we are sometimes chess pieces, that are moved on a board.
